A good librarian should always wear sensible shoes. Be aware though, that sometimes the most sensible choice is a pair of six-inch spiked heels that can be wielded as weapons against obnoxious library patrons or coworkers.

Lately I'm baffling people by wearing those 'Vibram Fivefinger' shoes that are like foot-gloves and have separate toes. I find them extremely comfortable, but people who have never seen them often believe they are silly socks. Are these sensible?
